There is considerable talk OF forming
a stock company of the granite interests
| of St. J%ohnsbury. Carrick Brothers have
had some such scheme in mind for some
time concerning their business, and now
the proprietors of the St. JohnSbury
granite company offer to dispose of their
business to ii stock company should one
be formed. R. W. Laird of the granite
company has business interests in the
south to which he wishes to devote all
his time. Such a company would not
only strengthen this branch of business in
St. Johnsbury, but might possibly wipe
out two or three odd dozen lawsuits as
we'll.
There was a hearing in the case of
William E. Dizan on the charge of adul-
terry, last week, before Justice Albert
Worcester. States Attorney Dunnett
and A. F. Nichols appeared for the pros
ecution and Bates & May and E. A. Cook
of Glover for the respondent. The evil
dence adduced by the state tended to
show that in 1882 Dizan and Mrs. Ezra
c. Wilder eloped from Barnston, P. O.,
with Mrs. Wilder's two children, and To-
Gated in West Wheelock. Mr.. Wilder
was living in Minnesota, where he died
Oct. 4, 1884. No testimony was put in
by the respondent. Justice Worcester
held Dian in $500 for trial at the coming
term of Caledonia county court. He has
not furnished bail and will probably be
unable to do so. Mrs. Wilder has fed to
Canada.

train and was walking up from the sta
ton and had arrived where the hotel
light shone in his eyes. Just then a trav-
ers sled with several boys came at full
speed. Mr.. Boardman stepped aside to
avoid it, when another sled which he
had not seen struck him with such force
as to break both bones of his leg and
threw him upon the ice with such force
as to give him a very ugly wound on his
head. Since that time he has been de-
lirious and friends are very anxious not
knowing how seriously he may be in
iured. 1t is strictly against the law to
coast on the highway, yet every year
the law is disregarded and such fearful
accidents occur.
